We stayed at Glen NevisÂ Campsite for three nights after completingÂ the West Highland Way. The site is just a short, signposted detour off the Way so instead of walking into For William – which is just a couple of miles away and the end of the West Highland Way – we pitched our tent at Glen Nevis then finished our walk after a shower, and without our packs which left us free, and clean, to enjoy Fort William (and a celebratory drink!). Here’s a photo of our tent; there’s a site…

We stayed at CaolasnaconÂ Caravan &Â CampingÂ ParkÂ for three nights whilst taking a break fromÂ hiking the West Highland Way (the Way passes through the village of Kinglochleven, a 3 mile walk, or bus ride, north of the campsite). It’s a quiet, scenic site on the shore of Loch Leven and in the shadow of the Glen Coe mountains run by a very friendly family. During the First World War the area was a prisoner of war camp and the dynamite store from that time (the prisoners were often employed in improving the roads…

We stayed at Millarochy Bay Campsite for three nights in between first travelling to Scotland and beginning our hike further north on the West Highland Way. One things it’s worth saying at the outset, as this is unusual in our experience, is that the campsite doesn’t suffer from midges. Many other places that we stayed during our Scottish tour was invested with midges to such an extent that you couldn’t stay outside of your tent between about 6pm and sundown unless there was a stiff wind blowing, but at Milarrochy…
